So many of you already know that we've been finishing our basement over the past year. Well in the last month we completed my highly anticipated sewing room/walk-in closet. I die! It's so fabulous. I've been unpacking fantastic fabric and cool vintage clothing that I've had stored for what feels like forever. The more I find, the more I excited I get. Vintage clothing is the finest form of art I know.

My passion for vintage is running wild now. Only to be fueled by the Rachel Zoe project on Bravo. Please tell me. Where do you buy your vintage?

I also love Hipster's Playground on eBay! Although I can't bear to visit their online store right now, not until they remove this sold item.

I cry every time I see what could have been mine if I had not been working so hard on an NPS survey last week. Damn my full-time job. Here's the top eBay vintage shops. Help me! Where do you find your best vintage?

...yeah, before I was even born, yet in 2008 there are still so many organizations with a traditional culture that don't support the tele-workforce. For the past few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about telecommuting.For me, work is something I do, not something I travel to.

(me doing an NPS and analyzing respondent data bad hair and all)

Here in Atlanta enabling employees to work remotely will make a big difference to productivity in the coming weeks, as USA Today expects "No quick end to gas shortage in Southeast." And employers sensitive to this everyday Gen Y need (more Gen Y needs), a group happy to be held accountable to results, will have a distinct advantage at retaining young workers and the opportunity to reap the benefits of A-level talent in the future. Word.

Citrix Online has a great tools to enable employees to work from anywhere, and they're offering anyone the opportunity to try GoToMyPC® Corporate and GoToMeeting® Corporate for 30 days risk-free and requires no commitment.

You can use GoToMyPC Corporate to access work email, programs and files, and GoToMeeting Corporate to meet with prospects, customers and co-workers online – just as if they were at the office.

From Wikipedia: Telecommuting, e-commuting, e-work, telework, working at home (WAH), or working from home (WFH) is a work arrangement in which employees enjoy flexibility in working location and hours. A successful telecommuting program requires a management style which is based on results and not on close scrutiny of individual employees. This is referred to as management by objectives as opposed to management by observation.

About Me

Hi! I’m a 34 year old chica born in Pittsburgh now living in Atlanta. I’m a wife, mom, dog and cat owner. I’m a voracious reader, obsessive Googler, and I’m a fountain of useless knowledge. I’m addicted to sweet tea, shoes, and reality TV. (Hmmm... this page is turning into a stalker’s wet dream. Should I draw you a map?) In between all of the blogging, the parenting, and my wifely duties, I also work at my full time job marketing the 3D virtual world of Kaneva.
